CHIRP DJ writesTonight: “A Fond Farewell…” at the Music Box

In a Chicago summer packed with concerts, street parties, and music fests, The Music Box Theatre is presenting its own music series on the big screen. CHIRP Radio is proud to be a part of this week’s Music Box Theatre Summer Music Film Festival, a celebration of new, classic, and underground movies about music!

We’re especially excited to present “A Fond Farewell Night” on Tuesday, July 26. The night’s lineup includes:

• A 60-minute program of short films from the 2011 Chicago International Movies and Music Festival (CIMMfest), at 5:30pm

   

   

• The CHICAGO PREMIERE of The Last Dispatch, a 2005 documentary about one of the most successful label-independent bands in history, at 7:30pm

   

   

• The classic 1978 concert film The Last Waltz, directed by Martin Scorsese, featuring the last concert of The Band, at 9:30pm

It’s a tremendous week of movies and music in the beautiful décor and atmosphere of the Music Box. Don’t miss it!
